The European Cup not yet started and Italy He was starting to feel like a loser. And the news coming from neighboring countries is not encouraging. Quite the opposite. After it was known a few days ago that the Azzurra could not count on Francesco Acerbi due to a pubalgia that prevented him from going to Germany (Gatti replaced him), today the loss of another defender was announced, that of Manplayer of Atalanta Giorgio Scalvini.
The young central defender (20), who just a few months ago was in the orbit of Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid, has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, according to Italian media reports. Scalvini was injured in the defeat at Fiorentina (2-3), in the last postponed match of the campaign, played a week after the 2023-24 Serie A season.
Scalvini was substituted in the 84th minute and, visibly in pain, left the field blindfolded and supported by two members of the medical team. He was taken to hospital, where initial tests showed a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Italian media reported.
Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini confirmed in the post-match press conference that Scalvini immediately underwent an MRI. “Let’s hope it’s not the worst, the cruciate ligament, but the dynamics of the injury are not the best,” he added without showing excessive hope.
